West Ham post game....

[Prestwich_Blue]

Wow, just watching MOTD, didn't realise Otamendi gave the ball away 3 times before they scored

He didn't give it away as such but he cleared the ball three times and we never picked up or even challenged for the second ball.

What exactly was the story then? You're making up your own narrative. De Bruyne had 60 touches of the ball while Silva had just 4 more. Moreover, Silva had 75% pass success. For all the criticism KDB gets about his passing, how can you oversight Dave's terrible passing tonight.

And no, Silva didn't work his socks off. You can't claim Kevin hid when he works arguably the hardest in our side and covers the most ground per minutes of any of our players. Kevin wasn't particularly great but Silva was woeful yet because of the affinity to him, you'll ignore it and attack Kev. I'm sure Dave will bounce back but attacking Kev is just absurd.

Folks here have there favorites: Favorites for applause and favorite for the moan. No one suggested Dave should be pulled at half time, even though he was by a large margin the worst player on the field in the first half.
But DeBryune and Yaya, please off couldn't stop reigning. It's comical to read these comments sometimes.

Heard it all now, Pep recognised this flaw? The service he has given us up until recently has been unbelievable, conveniently forgetting his 2 goals at Newcastle and his FA cup goals.
Credit Pep for a lot of things if you must but selling Yaya has been a major benefit to us

He's been great but those days are sadly over... He's an impact player.. We can see it but Audrey is in a dream world and can't...

Otamendi had a nightmare.

Was the Demi Yellow a red Match of the Day thought so but do not trust them they did not pause to check the line last man not that I think it was and was wide well past the player and Hart would have come out though not sure he would have got there. Just seemed like poor analysis

That is probably right, also the fact that Yaya wanted game time, Pep couldnt assure him of that as he had Xavi, Iniesta and Busquets so he moved on, they wanted him to stay. His agent is a snake (that seems to be the en vogue insult in football these days)

What I am talking about is our fans on here, who are turning on a player with little or no objectivity, on the match day thread he was just blamed at any and every opportunity.

Problem now is with the success he has had whilst here, he will be held up to those standards but unfortunately imo he cant sustain the amount of energy that is being required of him, biggest issue is that he is exposed in the way we set up an maybe h will move on eventually this summer

I agree it's more about tactics which we seem to know little about. Although it's like a jockey not studying the fences at the grand national on a lot of occasions

come on then why do you think pep sold him then...I never said it didn't benefit us!!!, What I meant is the high intensity game that pep plays does not fit Yaya's game style
